The Sangswan is a new wooden restaurant with wooden cabins for hire in the back. It is on the main road just north of Khao Lak on your left coming from Khao Lak, just before the gas station. You can either stop for an interesting variety of coffee and cakes, or an exotic fruit drink, or you can have a very good Thai meal. We enjoyed a tasty plate of pad thai for lunch and you could add your own amount of spice to it. We popped in a few times on our way north and always found the place spotless and the service good.
